DWCS September Newsletter

Greetings ~ Time flies, right? We celebrated the?11th Anniversary of?DW Consulting Solutions?in June.

And it was a bit of a shock to realize that today is the?21st?Anniversary of 9-11?terror attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Certain historic events remain firmly planted in our memories as to where we were and exactly what we were doing at the moment of awareness.?Our world was forever changed and I am more grateful than ever for all the entities in place to protect our freedoms.?Today is a very sober reminder that Life can, indeed, be fragile. We need to do everything possible to appreciate each day and be grateful for our blessings.

Mindset Reset?is something we spoke of in our August webinar. If not doing so already,?now?is the time to prepare for the fourth quarter and your expectations to come of it. You will manifest much better results if you let go of past 'misses' and focus on the results you truly want. There is much to be said for the saying, 'What you think about, you bring about.'

Congratulations to?Publix for being recognized as our September?Corporate Social Responsibility?business. "We are committed to?social?and environmental?responsibility.?We focus on business practices that protect and preserve the environment, support our communities,?..." Just?Page 2?of their?Publix Sustainability Report 2022?is quite impressive.?

I will be doing something I've?never?done before this month: Taking a?2-week?vacation!?My posts on?LinkedIn?will be infrequent with likely more of an emphasis on photo journaling as I delight in a 3k-mile road trip along the east coast. Pardon me for not posting tips about our favorite site or engaging with my valued network for a bit! In my absence,?Dayve Gabbard, VP of Operations & DWCS Coach?will be happy to assist you!

Wishing everyone continued success and good health and please remember to be kind! Debbie

LINKEDIN TIPS AND MORE

TIP 1

LinkedIn Live & LinkedIn Audio -?LinkedIn?Live?Events?allow approved members and Pages to broadcast live video content to a LinkedIn profile, LinkedIn Page, or Event. Replay links are available.?LinkedIn?Audio Events?allow members to have?real-time conversations?with their community in a more casual environment and are one of many versatile tools LinkedIn now provides for members to engage in the power of virtual events. As of this distribution, Audio events are not recorded for replay.

TIP 2

Recommendations?Here's a great example of a LinkedIn Live Event conducted by?Gillian Whitney, featuring?Teddy Burriss, about?Giving & Getting LinkedIn Recommendations. Gillian (my fav LI Video expert,) Teddy (a fellow LI advocate,) and I are all like-minded as to the use of LinkedIn. I am happy to promote them both! In 32min they share some great tips - and you'll see how LI Live events appear. Watch the replay.

TIP 3

What if I don't want to publish my phone number on my profile? We have clients who are concerned about including their phone number in their?About?section as we often suggest. The purpose is two-fold: #1 - make it as?easy as possible?for Viewers to reach out to you. #2 - Remember that until a Viewer is?Connected?to you, LinkedIn will?not?display the phone number you may have included in your?Contact Info?template link.?Two Solutions:?#1 - Get a Google # for free and have all calls forwarded to your number of choice or #2 - Include your CTA (call to action) in your LinkedIn?Banner,?the image area behind your headshot, which may include phone number, email, and/or website.?TIP:?Phone numbers/emails displayed in the banner image are not able to be scraped by 3rd party software, thus cutting down on spam calls/emails/invitations to Connect. Thank you,?Kevin D. Turner, for that gem! Added reminder: The use of any 3rd party software is very much frowned upon in the LinkedIn User Agreement because it's a violation of the Member Privacy of their data. It also removes the personal touch encouraged during the relationship-building process.
